The Title X Network is in Crisis
Manage episode 482551803 series 2581616
Title X, under the Public Health Services Act, allows for a family planning and reproductive health-based pool of funding that government agencies and nonprofits can apply for and use to support patients. Providers who receive Title X funding see all patients regardless of insurance status and income level. Clare Coleman, President and CEO of the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association (NFPRHA), sits down to talk with us about the recent and extremely harmful changes to Title X announced by the new administration.
At the beginning of April 2025, the government announced the withholding of 22 Title X awards. These awards, given consistently to projects who are years into their research, were rescinded with one day’s notice. On an annual basis, this impacts about $66 million in Title X funds-- about a quarter of all Title X grants. As of today, there are no Title X funded services in eight states, and 15 other states have lost either some or most of their Title X funding. About 842,000 people were served under these grants, and the number of health centers that are affected totals 865. These changes will impact access to care (particularly for young people and those with low incomes), affordability, and contraceptive choice.
